Killebrew, the bogus insurance agent
now in Jail, has gone crazy. lie imag-
ines his wife, who has been dea d
several years, is dying, and he begs
them to let him out 80 he can go TO
her; PAGES up and down his cell, crying
and wringing his hands, and refuses TO
take his medicine, saying it is poison.
The Missouri Pacific has about deci.
ded upon building line from Jefferson
City to this place and making this di-
vision headquarters. They will then
nave large sign painted, "Look out
for the cars when the bell rings" and
set it up on two posts near the Mitch
ell house crossing at what Is now
known as Muskogee.
Wa MUST ne MovISo.-It is time
Vinita was thinking aud doing some.
thing to secure the new Methodist col
leRe. Any town in the territory may
be selected rs the location for this in-
stitution. IL was at first thought the
Cherokee had been selected as the
nation in which 1t would be built, but
this is mistake. All stand an even
show-the Choetaw as good as the
Cherokee. Everything depends upon
the inducements offered by the town
financial and otherwise.
THK MAsoUERADE.-A gorgeous and
glaring success was the masquerade
ball held at the opera house on New
Years eve. The band boys had spared
no pains nor expense in the prepara-
tions and everything passed OIL very
happily. The costumes. most of which
we're secured in st. Louis, were very
showey and attractive aud the scene
presented ON the floor was truly a
brilliant one. Excellent music, under
the direction OF Prof. spangle, OF
Chetopa, was provided, and Of course
added not a little to the enjoyment of
both maskers and spectators. OF Wis
itors from abroad there were quite a
number and al expressed themselves
as amply repaid for their trip. Supper
was served at the Frisco hotel and was
all that could be wished. OF course
everybody knew who everybody else
was-and when the masks were re.
moved found they were mistaken.

The regular meeting of the Salem Conn
ty Board of Agriculture was held in Meal
listers Hall on Wednesday afternoon,
with a good attendance of members pres
ent to hear Prof. Geo. III. Cook, who had
promised to address the meeting. After
the meeting had been called to order and
the minutes Of the last session read and
adopted, reports from the committee that
had been appointed to experiment with a
view of ascertaining the relative value of
~phosnhoric acid as made from dissolved
bone and that made from South Carolina
rock were called for. Messrs. II. &. Per-
ry, Elmer Gaunt and Reeve Flitcraft re-
ported that the experiment was being
made on their farms. the fertilizers being
| applied to wheat, which, in the last two
cases. had been planted under the personal
| supervision of Prof. Neall, of the Expert
ment Station. under whose directions these
tests are being made. TIL manner of
planting for the experiment was explained
as follows: q plot of six-tenths of an acre
was divided into six parts which were
sowed with wheat, the first part being
sowed with no fertilizer, the second with
dissolved zone and the third with South
Carolina rock, this order and manner OF
sowing being duplicated in the other three
plots In connection with these expert
ments Prof. Cook made a few remarks in
which he said that as a rule field expert
ments were very unsatisfactory, but un-
usual care had been taken in the tests
which were being made here and the re-
suit would be looked for with much in
terest. The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton is also making the same tests and he
hoped much good and valuable informa-
ton would result therefrom. He express
ed his pleasure that fife members of the

floor feet foremost, and, although copsid-
erably injured, 10 bones were broken. He
was brought to his home at Swcdesboro

the county would avail itself Of the schol-
arships and fill them. The age OF students
should be about Is or 1G years, and the
grade necessary TO enter is a common
English education, with the rudiments of
algebra and geometry. Instruction is
given in all branches pertaining to agri-
cultural and mechanical arts, and while all
graduates do not become farmers, all are
fitted to fill that vocation.
A subject which would be of interest TO
the farmers of this section was the meth
DDS of renewing the fertility of vermont
soils at least cost. New Jersey has worn
her land out and it must be renewed. This
vicinity has extensive sources from which
can be drawn nourishment to enrich the
soil. Mari abounds here in plenty, but
seems TO have gone out of fashion, and
wrongly 50. The farmer will pay about
five cents per pound for potash in a fertil-
izer, when a bushel of mari contains five
or six pounds of it. Green mari contains
phosphoric acid at the rate of about two
pounds to the bushel. Well-marled land
needs neither of these ingredients and in
buying fertilizers farmers should purchase
those containing only the properties needed
to form a proper combination with that
already in the ground. The four principal
ingredients needed to make a complete fer
tilizer are potash, phosphoric acid, nitro
gen and lime. the last of which already
abounds LARGELY in fine land in this mart If
the State.

had been talked abont for many Years and

The Cleveland Times anil ElpresS has the
following to say in regard to the play OF
"Nobody's Claim which will be given in
the Opera House next Tuesday night.
A large audience assembled last evening at
the Academy of Music at the representa-
ton Of 'Nobody's Claim" 1t is of the
Miss order, and quite as good in
dialogue. If action is all that is required,
the audience had enough of it last evening
as it abounds in situations of the most SEN
sational order. But the repeated applause
showed the popularity of this kind of a
play, and doubtless, there will be a good
audience again this evening. The COM
pany is a fine one, Mr.. Joseph Bowling as

and a goood fellow generally, who has the
faculty of getting out of tight places by

A horse belonging to Joseph Harrow, of
Auburn, dropped dead while standing in
front of the post-oifice, at that place, on
Friday evening last. As the animal had
not been overdrivcn or o~yerworked, the
owner is puzzled to know the cause Of the
animals sudden death.
4 horse belonging to George Biddle, of
near Auburn, dropped dead in front Of a
store in Salem on Monday afternoon. Mr..
Biddle was accompanied by a lady, who
had just gotten out of the carriage, when

sudden death.
